Man gets life in student porn model's death

EL DORADO, Kansas -- A man has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for raping and killing a college student who led a secret life as an Internet porn model.

Israel Mireles was sentenced Wednesday. The 26-year-old had claimed he left a so-called mystery man in a motel room where he'd gone with 18-year-old Emily Sander, and found her dead when he returned.

The Butler Community College student left a bar with Mireles on Nov. 23, 2007. Her battered, nude body was found six days later.

It was later revealed that Sander also was known as Internet model Zoey Zane.

Mireles testified he took Sander's body and dumped it near the side of a road before fleeing to Mexico because he thought authorities would blame him for the death.

Mireles was arrested in December 2007 at the home of a relative in Mexico and fought his extradition. Prosecutors had to promise Mexican authorities they would not seek the death penalty for him in order for them to approve the extradition.
